LECTURE SERIES PROMOTES RESPECT IN THE WORKPLACE

Today's workplace for "hard-discipline" organizations, such as science,
technology, engineering and medicine requires a more diverse and
balanced set of skills for success than at any other time in history.
Organizational dynamics, diverse cultures, genders, professions and
backgrounds, as well as environmental, consumer and business demands
require an emphasis on interpersonal, ethical, and relational
competencies as well as traditional technical orientations. Several
organizations and institutions, including the Space Telescope Science
Institute in Baltimore, will address these issues in a six-part lecture
series entitled "Hard Science/Soft Skills: Fostering Civility in the
Scientific Workplace." Dr. P.M. Forni, a leading advocate for promoting
civility in the workplace, will kick off the series Feb. 7. Lectures
will begin at 4 p.m. in the institute's auditorium, 3700 San Martin
Drive. Admission is free.
